First off, hi. Been a while since I've been mentally right enough to poke my head out from my self-imposed exile, hasn't it? I appreciate the notes and shouts I've been seeing, even if I've been too shy to reply directly. And yes, I mean 'shy', my self esteem issues got pretty out of hand for a while with continuing conga line of calamity that has been reality. I have been getting professional help for it, and now that the retail hell season is winding down I should be able to have more free time to actually start interacting with people.

I'm going to try really hard to stop apologizing for pretty much everything I do. There's things I know I can't control that I should not blame myself for happening. Life goes on, there's no reason for me to hide from it, there are people who love me and care about me.

Also, AEW is pretty good stuff. That, Chicago Bulls basketball, and British comedies.

As for here and all the characters in the Deke-verse, I haven't decided what's going to happen. Do I join up to another wrestling league, keep my stuff separate, start up whole new characters, etc... That's a future Deke question. For now, I've got roughly 2200 submissions to start sorting through, stuff starting from like May 2020, now that I'm at the point where I feel like my favorite votes are worth receiving.

Dang I have a lot of catching up to do.
